Faith and Recovery: Making Spirituality Work for You in AA

The big book suggests that the fundamental belief in god resides in you as well. All you have to do is be willing and open to the idea, and you'll likely become aware of your faith.
Ever felt a bit lost when it comes to the spiritual side of recovery? This episode of 'Recovery Road' might just be what you need. Host William C. Moyers takes a deep dive into the role of faith and belief within Alcoholics Anonymous (AA), making it relatable and approachable for everyone.
Drawing from John R.'s book, 'The 12 Steps Unplugged: A Young Person's Guide to Alcoholics Anonymous', the discussion focuses on understanding and embracing the spiritual aspect of the twelve-step program, regardless of where you stand on the faith spectrum. Whether you're agnostic, atheist, or devoutly religious, this episode offers practical advice on how to define your own concept of a higher power.
You'll hear about overcoming barriers to belief, developing your own faith, and why willingness and openness are key in this journey. The episode also emphasizes that spiritual experiences in recovery are gradual and unique to each individual. Personal stories from the Big Book are shared to guide you through this transformative process. If you're looking to deepen your understanding of spirituality in AA and find a more fulfilling path to recovery, this episode is a must-listen.
